Hi,

The benefit of doing a live class is that you know you have a deadline for getting your homework done, but if you're good at structuring your time, this may not be an issue. The benefit of Self Study is that you can work at your own pace, extending your study time beyond nine weeks or accelerating through areas in which you already feel confident. In terms of the differences between the two options, the only difference between the two self study options is the class recordings, which most of our students find to be very useful.

I'd be glad to help you make a decision on what works best for you. Please feel free to give us a call at 1-800-576-4628 if you'd like to talk through your options in more detail. (It's always nice to get a sense of a student's time frame and goals before suggesting anything one way or another!)

Hello,

I plan to enroll in one of the online prep courses in May or June and I have a question regarding the gmatclub discount. I recently attended a trial class and I received a mail saying if I choose to to enroll officially, I will get a One-Day-Workshop for free. So my question is, can I enroll a class and attend the Workshop (for free) and at the same time use gmatclub $100 discount? By the way, I reside in Japan.

I just visited the Manhattan GMAT site and found it to be quite helpful. After registering I had access to a free PDF called The GMAT Uncovered. This was a well written and thorough review of the GMAT test, scoring and even a brief overview of the B-school application process. In addition I received access to one free CAT test. Now I will be receiving access to all their tests when my prep guides arrive but it was nice to have access already. The website also contains excellent tutorials on each test element.

I am still not sure if Manhattan GMAT and Manhattan Reviews are the same company. This is not that important to the fact that the Manhattan GMAT website seems like it will be very helpful.

Hi Skip,

I'm glad you found our website useful, and thanks for buying our books!

Sandeep:The cost of any of our courses or guided self study packages includes the books, so if you already have them we can indeed give you book credits towards the cost of the course. If you would like to do so, please give us a call at 1 800 576 4628 to sign up over the phone, so we can add the appropriate credits.

Hi Caitlin,

Thanks for you response. I'm from India, and I have seen the timings of the Live online sessions that will be held in future. But most of the timings fall from 12 am to 6 am India time, and the one's which does not fall in this category are on weekdays. So I have to wait for a session that falls other than the time slot (12 am to 6 am India time) and on weekends.

Also regarding the payment of the course fees, would it feasible for me to do some kind on netbanking or Credit card payment?

Hi Caitlin,

I have few more questions. I have visited many B School websites and most of the schools begin thier 1st round application in October. I'm taking GMAT this month end (30th of June), and till now the scores that are reflecting in my practice tests are somewhere around 600+ (low 600's). So I do not know what might I get in the real test.

If I enroll for Live Online Summer G which starts from July 17th (saturdays), will that be enough for me get past 700 score if I make a concious effort, for which I would be again taking GMAT in the month of September (3 months from July,10)

The tests I take, I get math scaled scores in the range (43-46) and verbal scaled scores in the range (26-29).

Sorry for asking vague questions though, but I really need an answer. I have reviewed your course details and how the program would look like (pretty thorough), and being a non native speaker, is 3 months enough to build verbal

Hi Sandeep,

We certainly would prepare you to the best of your ability for the test, and you would have time to improve your score with the time frame you described, but there is a lot of work involved in the course, so it really does depend on each student's commitment how much they get out of the class. Feel free to give us a call at 1-800-576-4628 or 212-721-7400 if you'd like to discuss your personal situation in more detail.

Hi,

I definitely appreciate your interest in our services, and I'm glad you feel so strongly about Manhattan GMAT!

I understand that it can be a big monetary commitment, and I've touched base with Katie, who you spoke with. I know she brought up Guided Self Study as an option - it is a bit cheaper than a live course, and you do get recordings of all of the classes. You also do get a full hour of time one on one with an instructor (via the virtual classroom) so you would still be able to talk to our instructors. I think this might be a great solution for you. You can read more about it here: http://www.manhattangmat.com/gmat-prep-self-study.cfm

If you are interested in the Guided Self Study, please call us back (as you know, you can skype us for free by calling m.gmat ). While we don't usually offer discounts off of our Guided Self Study programs, we feel so strongly that our products are worthwhile, that we'd be willing to work with you price-wise.

Thanks again for your kind comments, and I hope to hear back from you!

I've just registered for the MGMAT online course. I can tell you from what I've seen so far, the package looks incredible. I'm looking forward to digging in!

Thanks for the well wishes. I chose to take the course because I felt I need a comprehensive overhaul. I've taken the GMAT 3 times this year, and have scored between 580 and 620. I need 700+ for my school of choice- based on all the reviews I've read, combined with my busy schedule, MGMAT seemed the best option. I think the course was around $980USD or so with the GMATclub discount. I also received credit for books i had already purchased.

ok so in short your a GmAT veteran 3 times and your score range doesnt seem to fluctuate much..it must be that you thought your "approach" towards it wasnt correct i guess...and in that case i think youve made the right choice in going for an online course and that too MGMAT!!:)

i think many members here like me would appreciate if you gave some updates on how the course and you are treating each other _________________
